substantially the full length of the groove and engage tumbler 16. Upon insertion of the key into bolt 3 and rotation thereof with the key therein, the key will engage lever 16 and eject it from groove 14. This will permit spring 12 to withdraw boltk 3. I

In order to prevent rotationrof sleeve 4 the cylinder is formed with a pair of diametricallyV disposed longitudinal depressed ribs 23 arranged to slide in diametrically dis-- posed slots 24 formed in sleeve 4 and lock washer 10.

minimum number of parts employed and the simple construction of theseparts, may be manufactured very economically, particularly in large quantities.

To. install'the lock it is merely necessary to'drill'a single hole in each of thedoors one to receive the thimble or keeper and one to receive the lock. member need only be counterbored to receive the selvedge end of the cylinder thus eliminating the necessity of complex mortising.

In operation it is merely necessary to press bolt 3 until tumbler 16 engages in groove 14. That is, it is not necessary to insert a key or turn a bolt or cylinder to latch or lock the bolt.- Tounlatch the bolt it is merely necessary to insert the key and rotate the bolt after which the latter will be-Withdrawn by spring 12.

It is obvious that many changes-may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit and lscope of the invention as defined in the following claims.

I claim: 2

1. A sliding door lock comprising a cyl-y end-when in unlocked position, means for locking said bolt when in one position, and

a spring arranged to normally withdrawsaid.

bolt from extended position when unlocked, said locking means being releasable by a key upon rotation of said bolt with a key inserted therein.

' 2. A sliding door lock comprising acylinder, a sleeve telescopically mounted within said cylinder for reciprocating but non-roltating movements therein, a vslotted bolt within said sleeve, a lock washer engaging said sleeve and the slot in said bolt for locking said bolt to said sleeve whereby said bolt will be secured to said sleeve for reciprocating movements therewith and rotary move-- ments therein, said bolt extending beyond one end of said cylinder when in locked'po-1 The hole for the latter tion locked position, said locking means being releasable by :akey upon rotation of said bolt with said-key therein. y 3. A sliding door lock comprising a cylinder, an annularly grooved bolt mounted within said cylinderfor reciprocating movements beyond the other end when in unlocked position, a sleeve telescopically mounted within said cylinder and surrounding said bolt, a

spring arranged to normally withdraws-aid bolt fromextended position, and a lock washer arranged-to enter the groove ofsaid-bolt to lock said bolt to Vsaid sleeve for reciprocating movements therewith while permitting rotary movements therein.

4. A slidingdoor lock comprising a cylin-f der, a bolt having a'pair of annular grooves therein mounted within said cylinder for reciprocating movements therein `and adapted to extend beyond one-.end thereof when in locked position and the other end thereof when inv unlocked position, a sleeve telescopi'- cally mounted within said cylinder and surrounding said bolt, a spring arranged to normally Withdraw said bolt from extended position, a lock washer engaging one groove of said bolt to secure said bolt to said sleeve for reciprocating movements therewithand rotary movements thereinand a locking tuinbler arrangedto enter the other groove of said boltto lock said bolt in vextended posi! 5. A sliding door lock comprising a cylinder terminating. at one end in an enlarged selvedge, a bolt having a groove therein mounted within said cylinden for reciprocating movements therein andadapted to extend beyond one end thereof when in one position and the other end when in the otherposition, a spring arranged to normally withdraw said bolt from extended position and a pivoted locking tumbler disposed within said selvedge portion of the cylinder and arranged to enter said groove to lock said bolt in extended position. f f v 6. A sliding door lock'comprising a cylinder terminating in an enlarged selvedge, bolt having 'a' groove therein mounted within said cylinderfor reciprocating Vmovements therein and ,adapted to lextend beyond oneI end thereof when in oneposition and the other end when inthe other posi-tion, a spring arranged to normally withdraw said bolt from extended position, a pair of discs disposed within said selvedge portion, and a locking tumbler disposed between said discs and arranged to enter said groove kto locksaid-l bolt in `extended position, said. tumbler vbeing therein, said bolt extending beyond one end Y of said cylinder when in locked position and Y It is-obvious from the foregoing that there has been provided a lock which, due to the iso releasable by the insertion of a key in said bolt.

7 A sliding door lock comprising a cylinder, a supporting sleeve telescopically mounty ed Within said cylinder for reciprocating movements therein, a bolt having a groove therein rotatably secured Within said sleeve for reciprocating movements therewith, said bolt being adapted to extend beyond one end of said cylinder When in locked position and beyond the other end When in unlocked position, a spring arranged to normally Withdraw said boltJ from locked position and a locking tumbler Within said cylinderand arranged to enter said groove to secure said bolt in locked position, said lever being releasable .by a key inserted in said bolt.

8. A sliding door lock comprising a cylindrical casing terminating at one end in an enlarged circular flange having an annular rim extending therefrom, a bolt mounted Within said cylinder for reciprocating movements therein and adapted to extend beyond the flanged end thereof When in locked position and beyond the other end When in unlocked position, means disposed Within said ianged end for securing said bolt in locked position, and a spring arranged to normally Withdraw said bolt from extended position When unlocked.

9. A. sliding door lock comprising a cylindrical casing termin ating at one end in an enlarged circular flange having an annular rim Y extending therefrom, a sleeve telescopically secured to said casing, means for preventing rotation of said sleeve Within said casing, a bolt having a groove therein secured to said sleeve for reciprocating movements therein, said sleeve being mounted Within said cylinder for reciprocating movements therein, said bolt being adapted to extend beyond one end of said cylinder when in latched position and the other end When in unlatched position, a spring arranged to normally Withdraw said bolt from extended position, and a locking tumbler Within said cylinder` and arranged to enter said groove to lock said bolt in extended position, said tumbler being releasable by a key inserted in said bolt.

In Witness of the foregoing,I aflix my signature.
